Well, I must say that this was absolutely adorable! I loved that you used Cinderella and ballet and all Petunia's clothes to show that it's nothing because it's not /magic/. It's nice to see a story about Petunia where she's vulnerable. I thought I was going to cry at a few points in the story, especially the Cinderella part. It's so symbolic of just more than Petunia, but for all of us. It shows that fairytales are just that...fairytales.

Author's Response: Even Petunia has a heart, right? ^_^ I thought it'd be interesting to write her, so I'm glad this little experiment worked out and got people to feel sorry for her. :D Everyone has their shades of grey, so I wanted to give her view and emotions. :)

You have a writing talent! You write like that I've seen in published books. I've read several books on this site and most of them didn't even bother to spell correctly. Those normally are books that have nothing in them... you know... "He was in Gryffindor! In the common room he was amazed. His classes were hard. When Christmas came...". You know, just kind of sloppy. This is good! And I like the "two pairs of eyes peeked through the window". Good job!

Author's Response: Oh, wow, thanks! I try to write well, as I'd like to be an author some day, and this review is such a treat to read! :D Thank you for taking the time to leave a review ^_^
